Fine Motor Skills & Safe Risk Development

Take exploration and discovery with the five senses to the next level! Working with sensory materials aids emotional regulation, and children will learn their sensory preferences as they explore a variety of textures, smells, and colors. Collaborate on art and engineering projects, practice hand-eye coordination and safe risk with a variety of tools such as hammers and screwdrivers, and work with familiar materials in new, creative ways.
